Autodesk Backburner 2010.2 for Maya 2010 extends Backburner functionality to support network rendering on the Mac OS X platform. Previously network rendering was supported on Linux and Windows only. Network rendering allows animation scenes to be rendered by many computers working collectively on the same network. In addition, the extension introduces a new version of the Backburner Web Monitor. The new Backburner Web Monitor is a full-featured, desktop-like application that runs entirely inside a web browser. It is an Adobe Flash Player compatible application that replaces the older html-based Backburner Web Monitor, no longer available as of Backburner 2010.2
Note: you need 10.6 and up

I've tried the windows version...and it's pretty lack-lustre to begin with...so I don't have high hopes it will be any better on the mac.
At the moment, I cant even log into the mac's webinterface....has anyone been able to figure out what password you need?

Great :) Does anyone have some pipeline stuff that makes backburner a bit easier to use :) Like Maya 2010, After Effects and Nuke scripts? That works on Mac of course :)
Ash: Is it likely that the next version of maya has a build in Backburner submitter? Or that the GUI stuff on windows is coming to the mac?

In the help/installation pdf: For Maya, use the application DVD to install all needed Backburner components... Yes but my DVD dosn't have any Backburner components... where are they? The "Install Backburner 2010.2-1452" does not include all the components like the help file suggests... Please help :)
